khay 8 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 What's everyone's plans to welcome in the new year? House Party or does Newcastle have a street party of sorts? I don't really drink or go out that much so not sure what I'm doing. All though saying that my girlfriend left her passport back at her folks so she might not be drinking either. Think Aberdeen have a band or two playing but I don't think it will be worth the bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I swore off new year after the millenium. Might go round a house or two. But tending towards the idea of staying in with a Horlicks and watching the midnight Radiohead gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14136 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Friends have had the bright idea to go and sit in a park and have a picnic (?!) in the hours leading up to midnight. So we'll be staying at home and drinking the champagne we nicked from the last wedding we went to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14136 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 As it happens... Logic being that you can drink your own booze and see everyone's fireworks from the top of the hill, I suppose. Bollocks to that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man they're a bunch of kranks the majority of them. Few years ago now like, when I first went to Uni, my ex lass of the time went down to Sheffield Uni. She's a cracking lass, (awesome norks as well) always has been and always will. But she got in with all of these oh so rah and posh architectural students, despite her family being well off, she was always down to earth and that. But as soon as she went away to Uni with all of those man, she hung about with the most stereotypical student cunts you like, the kind that I absolutely loathe. I used to hate having to go down there and pretend I was having a bit of fun. It was all one big fun factory of Pimms/Zanyness, far too much responsibility for a working class bloke like me to handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame when someone you thought of as being sound does it as it shows a total lack of their having a strong enough character to be themselves when they're that easily influenced.

The Fish 9212 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 in response to that alex, I'd say that equally university can give people the carte blanche they'd need to express themselves. I know that I've changed since Uni, but I think I'm better for it, I'm able to see more arguments and while I may disagree with them entirely, I'll still understand what it is they're rattling on about. I've a naturally changeable character, something that's useful in a work environment and when you've a few diametrically opposed circles of friends. I know you weren't mentioning anyone specifically, but what you said has been levelled at me by "mates" from Newcastle, when really, I didn't lack the strength of character, I just realised who I really was at Uni and I do tend to soften/harden myself depending on who I'm with. The way I talk changes, the things I talk about etc. Everybody does it to some degree, I just tend to do it more than most. That being said there are some right goons around who insist that every celebration needs a "theme", every piss up should be fancy dress, every meal should be "special". I like a little bit of pretention, irrespective of the abuse it gets on here, nothing wrong with going to a nice restaurant to eat nice food, wearing nice clothes and holding nice conversation and all that jazz. But There's folk I know who will wear those stupid fluffy dresses, with gauche make-up and flamboyant hair to the local pub on a thursday night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
